Israel, a nation known for its rich history, diverse culture, and innovation, has not only made strides in technology and cybersecurity but has also become a hotbed for groundbreaking construction technologies. In recent years, Israel has witnessed a surge in innovative approaches, materials, and methodologies that are reshaping the landscape of the construction industry. Israeli companies are at the forefront of developing high-tech solutions that not only make construction smarter but also prioritize safety. Let’s delve into 10 innovative Israeli companies that exemplify the nation's commitment to innovation, providing a glimpse into the future of construction where cutting-edge technologies seamlessly integrate to create smart and secure building environments:
- Beyon3D?is a multidisciplinary building technology company that develops a digital manufacturing system based on the use of industrial robotic arms and custom-made software tools and hardware. The company aims to significantly change the construction market by developing a robotics-based system that can manufacture high-quality building components quickly, inexpensively, and in any scale or geometrical shape.
- Buildots?has developed a technological solution that continuously compares the situation at the construction site with construction plans and project schedules. The Buildots system functions as a virtual control room, enabling real-time decision-making that dramatically affects the project teams ability to meet schedules and budgets. The solution is designed to save hundreds of hours in manual tracking of work performed while helping decision-makers plan construction processes more accurately.
- ECOncrete?developed environmentally sensitive concrete products that promote marine biodiversity while increasing the structural stability, longevity, and aesthetics of urban waterfronts and coastal structures. The company's award-winning technology is scientifically tested and proven to provide superior structural and ecological performance. It is adapted to specific environments' needs, supporting local fauna and flora. Contractors, engineers, landscape architects, states, and cities trust the solution to meet performance standards while improving water quality and enhancing biological diversity.
- HoloArch Technologies?is the developer of HoloArch, a wearable augmented reality (AR) system designed to help construction site engineers and project managers oversee quality management while detecting and communicating errors. HoloArch allows builders, engineers, and designers to take their BIM models to the construction site using an AR headset that enables the wearer to experience an immersive, full-scale 3D environment.
- LIGHTYX?has developed the APR, a patented technology to visually communicate blueprints to workers in the field. The solution integrates into workers' existing workflow with no changes required, making 3D plans easier to read and implement. The company's technology is designed to ensure that construction workers can correctly implement 3D plans and that managers can continuously monitor the implementation process.
- Locusview?provides a digital construction management platform for utility capital projects, driven by real-time data. The company's technology unites people and streamlines workflows, enabling operational excellence at all stages of long-cycle work, from planning to execution and close-out.
- Okibo?has developed a battery-operated robotic platform that moves freely around indoor construction sites performing wall and ceiling finishing tasks such as joint taping, plastering, sanding, and painting. Automating these types of on-site construction jobs avoids exposing human workers to potential risks, such as working at heights and working with toxic materials, the company explains. The robots can work alongside humans or on their own, 24/7, guided by accurate 3D scanning of the environment.
- Structure-Pal?is a construction and climate technology company that has developed an AI-based tool for automating and optimizing the concrete structure design process. The company's solution enables structural engineers and design managers to generate designs more quickly using less concrete and less on-site construction time. Structure-Pal's technology is based on creating a reinforcement learning algorithm that functions as a structural engineer. Structure-Pal can provide up to a 50% reduction in design time, up to a 15% reduction in building costs, and up to a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions.
- Trusstor?is a construction management command and control system powered by real-time location and site condition sensors. By providing a clear and up-to-date view of project status, Trusstor helps create a safer and more productive working environment. Trusstor gathers valuable data from the construction site using unique IoT devices that do not require any external power source or communication network, making it a plug-and-play solution. The system conveys data insights, alerts, and resource locations using an intuitive real-time dashboard to maximize site visibility.
- Versatile:-Versatile aims to provide construction professionals, subcontractors, safety officers, and crane operators visibility into their production rates. The company's product, CraneView, uses artificial intelligence and IoT technology to capture and analyze thousands of data points to deliver real-time insights on job site performance, streamline decision-making, and offer production data on any job site, including information on materials, redundancies, construction progress, and crane utilization.
?A rapidly growing population combined will need quick and effective solutions to city planning and urbanization. This will necessarily take into account environmental needs and safety. For this the world will be relying on Israeli innovation!
